I've been suspicious of you for a while now and I still think it's plausible that you and Excal are working together. I think it's pretty ridiculous to call it OMGUS when I've hardly been shy about my concerns.
You weren't assuming we lynch Tonfa? I.. see. The way I read it, I thought you were saying 'we lynch him, he flips townie'. I dunno, then. The 'If Tonfa is lying' worst case scenarios don't really seem to deal with him, in that the events you describe come about regardless of if he's lying or not and we lynch a regular townie.
I still don't understand your logic on the no-kill thing. If nobody gets attacked, how are they supposed to fakeclaim bodyguard or something like that? I think it's rapidly becoming a moot point, though. I do agree that it's seriously unlikely Gate would lie about protecting Tai if something else was actually responsible (it'd be way too easy to get outed.)
You talk about how you know you're town a fair bit, as if to emphasize the perspective you're arguing from. It's a meaningless statement (nobody is going to say they're not town).
<->
Let's see. Tai's clear because of supercop. Gate remains mostly clear by virtue of being the only claimed Defender of Tai(tm). Tai hinted that something else may be responsible; if he thinks Gate is scummy he needs to say so for me to rethink things. That leaves Shale, you, Excal, and Tonfa as suspects.
I admit that I'm scared of Tonfa actually being a bomb combined with pseudo-LYLO. I said before that bomb is an effective lie for a scum under pressure and that still holds true. If it was plain LYLO I would be more likely to vote for him.
Shale has vanished for most of the day, it looks like. His previous posts mostly strike me as on the level... even if they are a bit short. They're not actually devoid of content or thoughts in general; he has definately gone back to look at people (particulary around those copclaims on day 5). It seems like he's constantly going back and checking things before he posts. I really haven't had a problem with him.
Excal himself I think is suffering somewhat from the sins of Andrew but I can't really just excuse them at this point; with that said he doesn't look as bad as you at present, and Excal himself has generally been pretty good; I appreciate he had to take some time to catch up, so I may be being a little lenient.
I've been over why I think you and Excal might be scum or working together somehow before; between you and Excal, I currently find you a more likely scum due to the general problems you seem to have with posting; I really can't tell half the time what you're trying to say or what the logic you're using is supposed to be getting at, and it seems like it could be a smokescreen to me. You've done a lot more weird speculating than Excal this thread and I can't tell if it's a smokescreen or not. You also never replied to this post-
http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=329.msg6304#msg6304 from Shale, and I feel that you should.
The three of you (Excal, Smodge, Tonfa) also have problematic claims which obscure the whole situation and naturally make it hard to be decisive. If I wasn't voting for you, I'd be voting for one of them, so... I don't really see a reason to unvote.

An extension seems like a decent idea, since Shale said he was gonna be away for most of it. I'll second Tai's request.
